Third Quirk - Video (Cherrygrove - Her hotel room.)

[for_realsies]

*The feed opens up with the camera wobbling a bit. Probably because Tailypo the Sentret is holding the device. Imogen is... dancing. She's very good at dancing, if your idea of dance is happy energetic flailing. She's, in fact, waving her paycheck from the gig working at the PokeMart*

Payday!

I figure I get one last decent meal here, buy the stock of food I need for my trip. Some Pokeballs. And I can get onto Violet City! And some people were talking about a farm where they raise Pokemon. And they have Ponyta's there! I figure I can head out that way, I've only seen a farm once or twice, and I've never seen one with Pokemon!

*She stops her dancing to go through her clothes and decide what she's bringing in her pack, and what she's dropping in the item system. The only things in the pile for going in the pack are a bright pink rain poncho, a small collection of jewelry, and her undergarments which she has no shame about being in view.*

I'm not sure if I should stay here one last night, or leave as soon as I have the rest of my supplies... I mean, what's Violet city like anyway? That's kinda why I put this up. ...an so you could all see me dance!

Zigzagoon? Good to know! If I meet one I think likes me I'll catch it!

*She's not sure she wants to get a Pokemon just for supplies but... it would help.*

Um... According to the map it's Northeast of Violet. I figure that's not too far, right?

[voice]

[captainash]

That would depend on the terrain, but the roads around here look flat enough.

[Hahaha the poor guy has no idea.]

And if you go through Cherrygrove you could even bike there.

[voice]

[for_realsies]

If I'm heading to the farms, why would I need a bike?

*She clearly plans to learn Ponyta back riding. Obviously.*

[voice] ...That Cherrygrove was supposed to be a Goldenrod. *sob*

[captainash]

To get to the farm more quickly, of course. I bet you could resell easily it once you're done.

[voice] I figured, s'all good!

[for_realsies]

But it's also in the wrong direction. And I never liked the bike music!

*This is a totally valid argument.*

I mean, I have to head to Goldenrod eventually, but I might as well do it after I see what's cool at that farm!

[voice]

[captainash]

Horses, cows, maybe a few hens... Or at least their Pokémon equivalent. Do you think the riding music will be any better?

[voice]

[for_realsies]

I know what the Pokemon equivalent of a Horse is, I guess I'll find out the other ones when I get there.

...There wasn't a riding music, I hope it isn't the bike music too. I'll find out what it is when it comes up!

[voice]

[captainash]

Would you really want to know? I mean, our meat and poultry have to come from somewhere...

[Isn't that a cheerful thought?]

I do hope it'll be a song you'll enjoy.

[voice]

[for_realsies]

I dunno how it comes from Pokemon, those things can kinda mess a person up.

*Imogen is going to ignore your train of thought, and replace it with one that makes even less sense.*

I do too! Maybe something country-ish!

[voice]

[captainash]

So can plenty of animals that get eaten on Earth. Cows can be pretty nasty.

[Sense is such a rare quality here.]

That... would make sense, actually, even if it'd be a bit of a stereotype.

[voice]

[for_realsies]

But cows can't shoot lasers. And like everything could learn Hyper Beam in the games.

*Valid logic is... still a bit out there.*

I need to eventually find a musical instrument. I don't think I can use the things I'm best at because they don't travel. Well, a tambourine, I guess... but those aren't very fun on their own!

[voice]

[captainash]

...How strong a laser are we talking about?

[His world has enough of those, thank you.]

You could try to learn a new one. There have to be instruments here that don't exist in your world.

[voice]

[for_realsies]

It was like the strongest attack ever in the games. ...that didn't involve exploding your Pokemon.

*Imogen is not a fan of those moves. It shows.*

That's true! I wonder what kinda music I'll find! Maybe I can find a Lute.

[voice]

[captainash]

...And everything can learn it, you say. How?

[This might be the start of a terrible idea.]

A lute? That sounds ancient.

[voice]

[for_realsies]

Um, Hyper Beam was a TM. Anything fully evolved could learn it.

Do TMs work here? ...How do they work anyway, that was never very clear.

*She scoffs at his comment.*

So. If I'm but a wanderer, beckoned only by the winds of fortune, I should have a wanderer's instrument. Plus it doesn't need to be plugged into an amp.

[voice]

[captainash]

A TM? Is that some sort of attack manual or class? I guess you could see how they work for yourself if you found any, but I haven't seen anyone sell them here.

[Hey, his version of ancient adds a few more centuries.]

...That's a very practical concern, I admit. An amp would be both heavy and expensive, unless you bought a really cheap one.

[voice]

[for_realsies]

They're items that teach moves. But... I never really understood how they worked.

They get pricey, but beating a gym earns you one.

*She nods, quite smug about it too.* Then it's settled, I need a lute!

[voice]

[captainash]

Beating a Gym? I'm supposed to do that at some point. Maybe I should get started, once I find one.

Don't get your hopes up, though. They might be too old for most shops, and thus more expensive than other instruments.

[voice]

[for_realsies]

I'll have to do it too... but Ponyta first! *Yes, priorities.*

Then if I can't find one, I'll get a ukulele! *...because that's a solid plan Imogen.*

[voice]

[captainash]

...Why not a banjo, at that point?
